Bought my wife one thing … A king size MyPillow 3” mattress topper!
A happy bedroom is a good start to the dY.
I feel sad. What good does taking out the globalists do? The only thing they do is make deals so we can buy stuff from around the world, they don’t force us to buy it. We buy it.
We gave our money to China, we did! And as us based folks are doing the work to fight these people I wonder how much money just this year we gave them. All we really have to do is stop buying their stuff.
So do we take out the DS that helps bring the stuff to our stores? So we can’t buy it because we have no self control? I boycott Chinese Christmas and everything is USA made, I make it myself. Popcorn on a string.
Communism never invents anything, freedom does, you can never win by playing catch-up and stealing your way into the future. This will become evident.
You are correct.
You can steal some technology but you cannot steal the ability to innovate.
YES! This is what I've been saying myself for years! Yes, this is it- Stop buying from them. Research EVERY product or service that you buy and stand on your principles. Whichever country you are in- Your Country First. That's why Trump's message resonated around the world, imho. It's the most expedient, practical solution.
I respectfully disagree. The elected and big business sold us out to the lowest bidder which just happened to be primarily the land of slave labor, ie Chyna. The unions did nothing to protect jobs in this country. They did, however, price themselves right out of the market and didn't give a damn that countless people lost not just their jobs but their life pensions to boot.
With all of the businesses selling out, that made it impossible for the little guy to compete which killed small businesses. Trump was in the process of bringing manufacturing back to the US which meant some really empty pockets for the political elite and we certainly can't have that.
All the while, the Chynese were infiltrating our land and our colleges, stealing proprietary information and sending it back to Chyna.
There's a reason the apostle Paul was warned about going to Asia... and here we are however many thousand years later suffering the consequences of dealing with them.
Union could settle for three bucks an hour and the company still cant beat china it's the government that built this mess not the union.broaden your horizons it will be good for you.
Reread the post and have a Merry Christmas!
Funny you mention that:

No Christmas shit for us this year, we donated to charity in lieu of gifts.
that's awesome!
We're all older, no kids... so it might be the beginning of a tradition. But it did seem to help our spirits more this year. Thanks.
Quite an assumption. There actually ARE worthy charities with low admin budgets.
Like I said, it was a family decision.
I was remarking to my sister today that charity is all well in good, but I like to see it's effects in action. That's why I don't like anonymous big charities. But I don't where to look to be more charitable on a one-on-one basis that legit.
You can check various local groups to find families that need help. Then you can help directly. We did that one year. We bought clothes and toys for a family's kids, and bought them a load of groceries too. It was a single mother, a trailer full of kids, and nothing in the refrigerator but some margarine and a bottle of water. It was sad.
You can also have fun with the people bumming money outside of stores. I saw one guy begging for money outside of a grocery store. I asked him what he wanted money for. He said he wanted to buy food. I knew he probably wanted some wine, so I asked him what he needed in particular. He was caught off guard and named a food item. I dragged his butt into the store, bought the item, and handed it to him. He was totally confused. It was the best $2 I ever spent. :)
Charities are not necessarily "anonymous". Community/local, religious based for those Christians (being protestant I have a disaster relief fund that uses less than 10% in admin costs)... Veritas, Judicial Watch, etc. They need to be 100% transparent before they get our money.
Yup you have to just be very careful,you did a good thing merry Christmas
Glad I'm one of the 20%. My present was made in Serbia.
nice, what is it?

Ours aren’t! They are all handmade. It’s been a tradition in my family to personally handmake our gifts.
Whether it is food, clothing, toys, whatever. It’s not store bought. It has to be made by one’s own two hands. There have been some head scratching concoctions over the years, but it is always hilarious when we all get together.
This year they where mailed out very early and we will all face time together. Not the same, but we will celebrate as best we can.
That’s wonderful. This year I was able to make 5 wooden gifts (and any corresponding supplies I’d say almost all are made in the USA). I also bought a few locally made or non-China handmade ornaments. Bought another USA made product. Some local candy. I couldn’t be more proud to spend my hard-earned money on REAL products that have a REAL price and aren’t cheapened by slave child labored and shipped across the seas and stink of plastic, cancer-chemicals.
By underage and underpaid workers.
Yep, we have to get China out of our supply chain of pharmaceuticals, phones, games, chips, clothing, furniture, etc.and return to the USA. Be independent.
My kids (in their 20's) got my pillows and silver bars. My nieces and nephews got treated to event tickets. Older family members got gas/grocery/restaurant gift cards. Parents got a Roku stick so they could start streaming programs outside msm.
Who do you think is buying all these products? The American people demand more want more so price has always been the biggest influence. Some people don't have a lot of money aren't able to make other choices. I grew up in the 50's remember all to well making fun of products that came out of Japan, their automobiles were at that time "junk", but people bought them anyway, so you have keep this in mind when considering how we got here. Prices of products for most practical purpose is affected by labor cost. Buying American products isn't as easy as you think, I try too buy American products but you don't always have a choice. We pretty much did it to ourselves. On the other hand our Government did not put in the proper stops on imports in order to have Trade balance. Just my view.
We can literally write a book on this subject matter.
Library sections.
that's true and you make a good point.
China bought the politicians and big business
I have to keep buying MyPillows every year to replace the old ones.
Lindell appreciates your extra business but, please be aware, his pillows have a 10 year guarantee -
And this is why you should buy a real Christmas tree. Support the local grower and the local economy. It smells better too
I smell opportunity, manufacture American baby
ALL of WALMART is MADE IN CHINA. In every MALL, most stores, its MADE IN CHINA...but We have known for YEARS this is so, and we still buy and buy and buy. WAKE UP
Go to local art and craft shows the juried ones that have the maker selling the product.
Plenty made in America stuff if you just look.
For us to bring back manufacturing, a ton of people here will have to leave their jobs of of managing renting cars at Enterprise (with benefits) or mid-level manager at LaQuinta and start being responsible for assembly lines in a local hidden warehouse, watching them all day.
Buy American. OK, you can buy German handblown ornaments, too.
Buy polish ones
I am guilty of buying Chinese pandas. Other than that all my other purchases are made in America's
Gifts im giving. 1 gram gold, 1 oz silver, 2 my pillows and a set of cookbooks. I dont think any were made in china. I forgot a box of 200 grain 30 cal accubond bullets.
The cure is to stop buying crap on Amazon. So many traitors buying crap from people/corps that are traitors to the country. We're a consumer society. That means our power is in how we spend our money. A consumer society is the EASIEST system to turn around. STOP buying goods or services from the ccp or any traitors using their goods or services. Research where a product comes from. If you continue to buy from traitors, you are, at the very least, aiding and abetting actual traitorous acts and the nefarious crimes these people commit with the money you give them. In my humble opinion. And I feel for those of you who are married to, or dependent upon, those who keep the traitors in business. Think wartime and how you might sabotage their buying if all attempts to educate them has failed. It could all be over so fast if people withdrew their power from these people.
You're right that it doesn't matter where you buy it- that's why we have to take the time to research where it came from, but I hear a justification in what you are saying, too. Please don't give in to the easiness or cheaper is better idea. Even at walmart there are plenty of goods from countries other than China.
Also, many restaurants source their ingredients from Sysco or other conglomerates who get the food from duht tahdada...china.
Yeah, we need to get back to 0% made -in-China products here.
